Hughes was hurt in the second quarter of the Cavs' game against visiting Portland when Trail Blazer Martell Webster rolled up his leg in a scramble for a loose ball.
Initial reports called the injury a contusion. I had a little brother that was struggling from some medical issues and he had a little sister that was struggling from some medical issues, so that was really our bonding point. So, we had a great connection off the court first. When that happened, did that change your outlook on life?
It makes you live one day at a time. Nothing is promised. You have to love your family members and be there for them through tough times. In your second NBA season, you averaged What did that do for your confidence? LH : It was huge for me. I came from a winning situation in Philadelphia. I wanted to play more, I wanted to explore.
But it was a gift and a curse. But it did give me a chance to explore my game and understand what I could and could not do.
It gave me some roles and responsibilities that I took advantage of, so I understood that I could score the basketball in the league. Then, it was just about finding out how to become a winner. When Jared Jeffries was on the podcast , he said that it was like traveling with The Beatles.
What were some of the craziest fan interactions with Jordan that you witnessed? LH : There were two, for me, that really stood out. On one road trip, we were going to Chicago and we were playing the Bulls. Obviously, MJ is the greatest thing since sliced bread in that city. We were going to a nightclub to hang out. And M would always hang out with the team, but he would just be there. He would just appear. So we were walking in and we saw him coming in.
And as we saw him coming in, all the heads turned. Charles Oakley was with him and there was one guy that would not respect the fact that M was trying to get to his seat.
He would not move. You are the greatest! The other time, we were out at an event where they had families and kids around. We were doing some pictures and some autographs and things of that nature. M had a cigar deal and he would always have a cigar, whether it was lit or not lit. But I can remember that, at this occasion, the cigar was lit. There was this mom who wanted her kid to take a picture with MJ and she did not care that he had this stinky cigar that was lit. At that point, you were 24 years old.
Were you able to learn a lot from Jordan throughout that season? LH : I learned a lot. A lot of it had to do with off-the-court situations, whether it was how he walked into our locker room before our games, how he would go in to get treatment at a certain time before our games, how he would address the media in a way that just commanded their attention and commanded their respect, how he walked in and out of rooms.
He had this presence and there was a feeling that you got when he walked into a room and when he left a room. It was more. There are a lot of stories about how he was difficult to play with. In Washington, there was a lot of talk about how he was hard on the young guys such as Kwame Brown, though Kwame says it was blown out of proportion. What was he like as a teammate and was he hard on you? LH : We were good. I mean, I got a chance to play cards on the plane with MJ!

We both felt strongly this is not the game for the Wizards to roll out their starting recent lineup of Westbrook, Beal, Hachimura, Davis Bertans, and Alex Len. Hughes did believe that the Celtics going small and playing Tatum at the 4 could work to the Wizards benefit in one way. Essentially, it would make it harder for them to exploit Bertans defensively.
We also discussed why the Wizards would rather see the Indiana Pacers than the Charlotte Hornets if they lost to Boston and why the Brooklyn Nets would be a better first-round opponent than the Philadelphia 76ers.
